A Single Dream

"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." - J. R. R. Tolkien

I love "The Lord of the Rings" much more than any other book series out there! Nothing can surpass it. I do love Harry Potter, but there's something more about Frodo's journey and Aragorn that I love more. Not to say that one is less a greater work of fiction, but in my opinion, I love Tolkien's story more. I've been thinking a lot about my trip to New Zealand next year and I see clips of The Lord of the Rings everywhere, Frodo and Sam traveling across that beautiful country that I will get to see. I can't imagine it! But it's very exciting. It's almost August and next August, instead of packing for another apartment, I'll be moving to another country. It's all very exciting.

I love this quote from J.R.R. Tolkien about how a single dream is better than a thousand realities. I would rather have a dream to be something than to live for a thousand lives with no dream. We're here because we have a dream to be an author. In some ways we are already authors because we write. We dream of being published and whether it comes true or not. We dream. :)

I must read more of Tolkien's beautiful words before I fall asleep tonight.
